At some point in our careers, most of us have undoubtedly scratched our heads and wondered, “How on earth did this person obtain this leadership role?” The fact of the matter is that some people in leadership roles don’t belong there. Unfortunately, companies tend to promote employees who are highly trained and have excellent technical skills, but when these employees move into management, they often lack the soft skills necessary to motivate their teams. Hence, they don’t become great leaders.

In this episode of In Process: Conversations about Business in the 21st Century, hosts Evelyn Ashley and John Monahon of Trusted Counsel speak with Dr. Hans Finzel about leadership. Dr. Finzel is an author, speaker and trusted authority in the leadership field and the author of 10 books. With a doctorate in leadership studies, Dr. Finzel is a respected teacher globally. In his new book “Top Ten Ways to Be a Great Leader,” he uses the letters in the word LEADERSHIP to present the 10 essential skills that he believes every new leader must master in order to be a great leader.

During the course of the podcast you will learn about:

The one word that Dr. Hans Finzel uses to define leadership

The two most important words in a leader’s vocabulary

The 10 essentials skills that every new leader must master

The four questions that every follower will ask a leader

Why EQ (emotional quotient) is seen as more important in the hiring of leaders than IQ (intelligence quotient)

Some of the companies with the most efficient operations are also the ones who have the hardest time growing. It’s a counterintuitive idea, but it’s one that has been supported by research and that serves as the basis for this week’s episode of In Process Podcast. Join us on the show this week as we revisit out talk with Art Saxby and Beth Vanstory from Chief Outsiders.

Both Zaxby and Vanstory came to marketing after building a background in finance—something Saxby laughs off as more of a natural transition than it may seem at first. “It’s a profit game,” says Saxby, noting that many business owners don’t see the way that marketing directly relates to the bottom line. “The real role of marketing is to help lead the company forward and figure out where it can profitably attack the market.”
